When your pen gives up...

Ugh, you know when you're in exam hall, and your pen decides to peace out? Happened to me today. And no, it's not the ink, it's just the pen being stubborn. Giving it a shake, a couple of taps, and it works again... until it decides to stop. Mid-sentence. Time’s ticking and I've got this Shakespeare tragic drama unfolding in my answering sheet. Perfect.

Wouldst thou all fault to the pen give? Thine own hand, perchance, shared in this tragic tale? In the absence of ink, the words, they lilt and weave, a soliloquy to the detestable fail. All jesting aside, I feel for you, OP. Exams are stressful enough without pen problems!

Ever thought that maybe your pen was just taking a nap? Exams can be stressful for everyone involved, even the stationery. 🤷‍♂️😂

Just so you know, it's likely air pressure changes messing with your pen, especially if it's a cheaper one. When the inside of the pen is warmer than outside, the ink thins out and stops flowing. Try storing your pens tip down. Or better yet get a quality pen that's designed to handle changes in pressure.

Man, the trials and tribulations of life...Professors giving midterms from hell, textbooks that cost half a kidney, and now pens with abandonment issues. When does it end?

This wouldn't have happened if you used a mechanical pencil. Superior writing instrument with no sudden death syndrome. Just saying.

I am the ghost of your pen haunting you mid sentence. Dare to shake me again and I'll make your next exam even worse. Beware, mortal! ⚠️👻🖊️

Been there, mate. Always get couple of extra pens for this exact reason. Never trust those trickster Bics, always having a midlife crisis in the middle of exams.

Lol, apparently your pen was more into performing 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' than a serious exam. Maybe put a fairy blessing on it next time? 😂
